Lars,

I'll bet ya $100 cash it will be Sparta or Boone, NC or within 25 miles of one of the two.
Ask me how I know...............................

 

Actually, I have the four mode version in the V8 car, and yes, Agility mode is in a league of its own, for sure. Takes the car from a cruising car to a driver's car with a push of the button.

 

Yes indeedy! Enjoy the original "Bullet"!

 

We'll be sure to hold it right in the middle of Pigeon Forge!
We actually were brave and took a group to Gatlinburg on the Sunday run.... thinking the crowds would be down due to the hurricane. Nope. It was horrible as always. Never again!!!

 

I would like to suggest taking a look at "Back of the Dragon" and surrounding roads. I've done it twice with the Crossfires of MD group and had a great time.

Excellent Roadways in Appalachia.

 

Great roads, but who ever designed that website should be fired.
YOur recommendation is noted. I will make sure Lori has seen this and considers sending RFPs to various hosts up there.

 

Well we had 39 Crossfires in attendance for this final meeting in Fontana Dam, North Carolina
Beginning in 2023 we will be moving to a new location near the Smokey Mountains.
After 16 years of Spring and Fall "Tail of the Dragon" organized events, this past weekend we attended the last of these events in Fontana Dam, North Carolina.
We have a new website for next year’s Fall Smokey Mountain Region Event.

Our planning committee is exploring new locations in the Smokey Mountain region to replace the "Tail of the Dragon" at a new location with more dining options and shopping near our new host hotel / resort.
We are also excited to do group runs daily in a new area of the Smokies as well.

End of an era.
Beginning of a new one.

The Dragon has been a wonderful destination, but given the news about the accident rate (and the resulting law enforcement effort) recently, and the thought of how one of our cars was destroyed by a DUI last year - I've come to the conclusion that the Dragon is simply attracting a new generation, a generation that simply does not 'get it' and does not respect safety over having fun. It would appear that the Tennessee State Police have stepped in to deal with this, as was evidenced by the ticket Dean got on Thursday and the guy in front of me got on Sunday.

In my mind, all the 'tea leaves" tell me that it's time to move on. I think next years' event will go down as the first "eastern version" of the Eureka meet.
Just wait till next fall......
